10. Tsipouro

Tsipouro is made from the by-products of wine making -- the grape skins (which are also referred to as the “must”). People have been making liquor out of grape skins all across Europe for centuries (grappa and eau-de-vie are other examples), but Tsipouro is a particularly early type, originally made by monks from Macedonia. Tsipouro contains about 45% alcohol and is considered a special-occasion spirit today, despite its humble origins.
